Run Daddy Run: A Morning's Escape from Life's Symphony
Lyrics
When I wake up early in the morning before that sun is high
Expressing the start of the day, waking up early before sunrise.
I can hear that baby screaming down the hall cry baby cry
Referring to the sound of a baby crying in the morning.
The wife starts bitching long before I can even get my britches on
Describing the wife complaining before the speaker can get dressed.
The rooster starts singing and the church bells ringing and i'm gone baby gone
Symbolizing the start of a hectic day with rooster crowing and church bells ringing.
Ohhh Lord I will tell you son
Invocation of a higher power (Lord) to guide and provide insight.
Every damn morning I open my eyes it's run daddy run
Expressing a sense of urgency and the need to escape or face challenges.
Walk outside to get that paper and look up to the sky
Describing going outside to fetch the newspaper and questioning life's difficulties.
Drop to my knees and start begging please why Jesus why
Turning to prayer, seeking understanding from a spiritual perspective.
Someday somewhere somehow must of done somebody wrong
Suggesting a past mistake or wrongdoing that led to the current situation.
Now i'm face down in the dirt with nothing but songs baby songs
Conveying a state of despair, lying in the dirt with only songs to accompany.
Ohhh Lord I will tell you son

20 years later the kids left home and the wife don't pay me no mind
Reflecting on a period when children have left home, and the speaker feels neglected.
Little bit older and a little bit slower going blind baby blind
Describing the aging process, becoming older and slower, possibly facing challenges.
She's Looking right through me and walking right past me
